Continuing what has been an exodus of Texas House Republicans to retire after their terms end, Mac Thornberry announced that he is exiting Congress before the 2020 elections.
The 13-term Congressman, who is the ranking member on the House Armed Services Committee, announced his decision on Monday in a press release.
“It has been a great honor to serve the people of the 13th District of Texas as their congressman for the last 25 years,” Thornberry said. “We are reminded, however, that ‘for everything there is a season,’ and I believe that the time has come for a change. Therefore, this is my last term in the U.S. House of Representatives.”
“With over a year to go, I will continue to represent the people of the 13th District to the best of my ability. Our nation faces many difficult challenges, and none of us can relax our efforts to meet and overcome them, whether at home or around the world,” he added.
"We are reminded, however, that "for everything there is a season," and I believe that the time has come for a change. Therefore, this is my last term in the U.S. House of Representatives." (2/2)

His district went for trump by 80%. Dude isn’t conservative enough for his district plus he is being pushed out of committees.

If Texas goes blue it’s all over for our country.

I’m guessing this line of cleansing by POTUS is going to reveal plenty of corruption on both sides of the aisle.

The current administration has scared a lot of politicians that got into it for the cash.
Up to now you could make millions on a legislative salary supplemented by lobbyist.
The ones in it for the money are getting out.
